Abstract:

The management of acute stroke has changed in the recent past due to the superior results of thrombectomy in patients with occlusion of larger brain supplying arteries in comparison to intravenous thrombolysis. This progress is mainly based on the use of stent retrievers for thrombectomy. The combination of stent retrievers with balloon-tipped catheters has increased the efficacy of the procedure.

Venous Thrombosis III: Interprofessional Care

Venous thrombosis requires effective prevention and treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes and reduce potential complications.Prevention StrategiesHealthcare providers must prioritize preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) for all adult patients upon admission. Interventions depend on bleeding and thrombosis risk, medical history, current medications, diagnoses, planned procedures, and patient preferences. Patients on bed rest should change positions every two hours and, if not...
